VYPE U: TWCP Softball Suffers Tough Loss to Oak Ridge
Mar 18, 2020
Last Wednesday, the College Park and Oak Ridge softball teams met to play their district game in front of a large crowd of Cavalier and War Eagle fans at College Park. The Cavaliers entered the game having won their past 4 games and tournaments and the War Eagles entered being ranked first in Class 6A.
In the first inning, an Oak Ridge home run and 2 additional runs hurt the Cavaliers but they looked to battle back.
Pitcher Grace Fanset kept Oak Ridge scoreless for the next 3 innings, but College Park had difficulty scoring due to Oak Ridge's tough defense. By the end of the 5th inning, the score was 7-0.
Cavalier Ava McCracken's double brought in the only run of the game for CP. The final score was 11-1.
The Cavaliers put up a strong fight but the War Eagles' offense was unstoppable. Check out some photos below!

I was able to talk to the goalie herself, Rebecca Jefferson, to learn more about the Oak Ridge waterpolo team.
</p><p>
"As a goalie, I'm the prime communicator for my team in order to help them," Jefferson said.
</p><p>
Jefferson was also a part of the swim team at Oak Ridge.
</p><p>
"Waterpolo is different from swim because it is more of a team sport and you have to work together to succeed," she said.
</p><p>
The team has a whole routine before every game that Rebecca shared with me.
</p><p>
"Before every game we do a warm-up as a team and then we do a cheer to get everyone hyped up," Jefferson said, "We then have a prayer, and finish our pregame ritual with a pep talk from our coach."

The girls have until March 18th to prepare for the game against Tomball.
</p><p>
"To better ourselves for the next game we have to practice harder by doing more sprints during conditioning, taking shots in higher corners and we're really working on not being nervous when we are in possession of the ball," Jefferson said.
